On being asked why Pratyusha had hanged herself, Rahul said she was making hanging videos to scare him. She often used to do this and on the day of April 1, her foot would have slipped. “I was not conscious for two to three days when the accident happened. When sleeping pills did not work, efforts were made to make him sleep by giving injections. People are telling me I am responsible for her death. How can I be responsible for someone's death? I had a party with her just the night before. I didn't provoke her, but she was worried about her parents' debt. I do not consider it suicide. Pratyusha was making hanging videos to scare me. She often used to do this; only then must her foot have slipped,” Rahul Raj Singh was quoted saying.
Pratyusha Banerjee was widely known for playing Anandi in the Colors TV show Balika Vadhu. She became a household name with her stint in her first leading role in the television series. She had participated in the reality show Bigg Boss 7.
